Chapter 067: Gao Yuan Catches Zhou
Jinghua is indeed fully capable of preventing the execution of this edict of the Siamese royal family, but after Gao Mengnan hesitated, he finally decided not to stop it.
Of course, there are reasons not to stop, Gao Mengnan mainly considered three aspects: first, with Jinghua's status in Siam, there should be some celebration for the birth of Gao Shicheng's eldest son; Secondly, the Siamese royal family is now just a puppet, and although it is suspected of winning the hearts of the people in a hurry to announce the exemption, it cannot be ruled out that the king of Tanmaro is too afraid and takes the initiative to jump out to flatter; Although the final exemption may lead to a tighter fiscal situation in Siam this year, it will also improve Jinghua's reputation in the eyes of Siamese people.
Do you think that the exemption was announced by you, and that in the end you will be able to get the benefit? What are you kidding, you are an outdated king who is under house arrest in Dingnan City, such a benefit can make you a little light, even if we are merciful, you still want to leave Jinghua and monopolize it?
While advancing towards Dingnan City, Musali lamented Jinghua's methods: at the beginning, the rumors from the outside world were very direct, that His Majesty the King announced that the whole country would be exempted from taxation for one year. As we walked, new news appeared, and Jinghua Group said that it did not dare to accept such a "love", so it politely refused this exemption.
At that time, Musali thought that Jinghua was annoyed and angry, and wanted to directly dismiss the king's face, but who expected that after another day, the news on the road changed again: His Majesty the king insisted on "celebrating the birth of Gao Gongzi", and sent someone to "invite" Gao Mengnan and others to enter the palace, saying that he wanted to persuade him personally.
Another day passed, and the news changed again, and this time His Majesty the King changed his mind and decided to give all this year's tribute as a congratulatory gift to the high prince who might not have opened his eyes yet. The Siamese on the road were visibly depressed.
However, again, there was an update of the news, saying that Jinghua could not refuse to thank him repeatedly, so he had to agree, but at the same time, Jinghua Group decided to reduce or reduce the tax, the purpose of which was "willing to rejoice with all the people".
Musali, who has walked not far outside the city of Dingnan, is full of emotion, this Jinghua Group is really turning over the clouds, and it is clear that it is still exempt in the end, but by their operation, it has become "the king flatters Jinghua, and Jinghua rejoices with the people".
King Tanmaro brought money into the group and starred in a big drama for nothing, thinking that he was the undisputed protagonist, but who expected to find out in the end that he was just a clown, and the protagonist was always Jinghua.
It's miserable, it's miserable.
After Musali sighed, he also became more cautious, he found that this Jinghua Group is by no means different from the "Celestial Empire" in his impression, although people also talk about face, but they are not willing to give up Lizi for this, and what is more remarkable is that they still have the ability to kill two birds with one stone.
It seems that it is not possible to fool around, and it can only be done according to what Ruan Huang said, "If you treat Jinghua with sincerity, Jinghua will treat you with sincerity".
However, he didn't have time to "treat Jinghua with sincerity", but "Jinghua must treat you with sincerity" happened before.
As soon as Musali arrived outside the city, about ten miles away from the city gate, he found that Jinghua had set up a big battle, and the Dingnan high-level leaders led by Gao Mengnan led more than 10,000 troops to line up outside the city to welcome his arrival.
Ten miles in the suburbs, Musali was so excited that his hands trembled a little.
After some politeness and affection, Gao Mengnan, an interpersonal veteran, promoted Musali to the number one general in Cambodia, not to mention, and brought countless high hats to him, what "the pearl of my Han family", what "deep righteousness" and so on, Musali was full of red light - I don't know whether he was ashamed or happy.
In short, Musali's whole person entered Dingnan City in a fluttering state.
After entering Dingnan City, Musali first handed over the escort task - he was also responsible for escorting Cambodian "war criminals" this time, which was to be handed over. Then Gao Mengnan told him that since it was not convenient for his wife to receive him at the moment, he still needed General Musali to stay in the city for a while, and when his wife had recuperated, he would see him in person and decide how to appoint him.
Musali was mentally prepared for this, and he also knew that this was the truth, so he couldn't let Mrs. Gao see him as an outsider during the confinement period, right? Even if people were really so polite, he wouldn't dare to go.
However, in fact, Huang Zhiting's confinement is not as difficult as outsiders imagine.
Due to Gao Shipra's explanation, Huang Zhiting does not need to insist on "closing the door" and "not washing her hair" during confinement. Even Gao Pragmatic specially confessed that she wanted her to walk around every day in her room or in a yard where there was no strong wind or cold wind as her body permitted.
As for washing hair and bathing, as long as the water temperature is not cold, the other is not to take a bath, you have to change to a shower - this is easy to do, before she gave birth, she transferred craftsmen to build a new bathroom in the backyard of Gaofu, this new bathroom is a two-story small building design, the second floor boils water for storage, and the first floor is a bathroom, and the water is washed.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no geothermal hot spring in Dingnan City, Gao Pragmatic would even want to build a "Huaqing Pool" for her.
Because of these reasons, Huang Zhiting did not sit "masochistic" this month, plus she was in excellent health, and she was able to get out of bed the day after giving birth.
The next step is breastfeeding. This matter is nothing, with Jinghua's huge industry, you can find the best nurse - it is true that you have found it, but Gao Pragmatic has an explanation that makes the southern Xinjiang side very difficult: he asked Huang Zhiting to breastfeed herself, and made it clear that unless the breast milk is insufficient, there is no need for a nurse.
Regarding this matter, the four doctors sent to southern Xinjiang all disagreed, and Huang Zhiting's maids, including the nurse who brought her up, were also very opposed, mainly for two reasons: one is that with the family and wealth of the Gao family, there is no need for the nurse to say it; The second is that they think that breastfeeding their children may affect their figures.
The so-called nurse, to put it in layman's terms, is the nurse of later generations, even in the later generations, all kinds of milk powder in the era of variety, such a profession also exists, and in ancient times, the nurse is an indispensable position, especially in the palace, no matter which harem concubine gives birth to a child, it will be fed by a special person. This is how the nurse was born, and it has been passed down to various dynasties.
In ancient times, people invited nurses, generally from wealthy families, and their wives or daughters-in-law were naturally beautiful women, or delicate daughters, who couldn't stand the pain of breastfeeding at night or taking care of children, so they would ask nurses to help them feed their children and take care of their children's lives.
These women grew up with golden keys in their mouths, and they had to be served by servants, and they were especially weak after giving birth, and they would not take care of their crying babies themselves. Moreover, in this era, breastfeeding will also be considered insulting, so for the sake of identity and face, they generally choose to give the baby to the nurse to take care of.
But in addition to explaining to his subordinates, Gao pragmatic also wrote a private letter to Huang Zhiting himself, explaining the reason for doing so.
In fact, the benefits of breastfeeding are known to people in modern society, but generally speaking, they know more about the benefits for children, and in fact, there are many benefits for mothers. [Note: After thinking about it, although this is all very serious knowledge, due to some relationships, there may be blocked words, so I simply skip it.] ]
One of them is very interesting, that is, Gao pragmatic said that breastfeeding will not cause her body to lose shape, but can make her recover faster.
Perhaps out of trust in her husband, Huang Zhiting finally made the decision personally, according to the master's instructions, the child was fed by her personally, unless the milk was insufficient, otherwise the milk of the nurse was not used. However, at the same time, the nurse's other work still has to be done by them, including setting up a bed in the cubicle of Huang Zhiting's bedroom to sleep with the child.
These things are properly arranged, and Huang Zhiting is now waiting for Gao Shishi's reply - no one can replace him in the matter of naming, so as soon as the child was born, a letter was sent to Yanjing, waiting for the lord to choose a name.
And Huang Zhiting herself, in addition to feeding her children, can even handle some official duties every day. It's just that because the doctor restricted her from using her eyes excessively and didn't allow her to read more documents, these documents were read to her by her personal maid, and then she only showed her attitude to deal with them, and the maid wrote them down, handed them to her for a little glance, and then transferred them to Gao Mengnan for execution.
The outside world was extremely impressed by this, and it was unthinkable that Mrs. Gao insisted on handling government affairs during her confinement, including Gao Mengnan, the "uncle", who was in awe of Huang Zhiting because of this, and said to the people around her in private: "Seeking truth and being a virtuous brother is really a virtue in the previous life, and it is necessary to be such a good woman." Dumbo eBook
Musali also learned the news that Huang Zhiting could still handle government affairs, and while he sighed that "Mrs. Gao is worthy of Mulan in southern Xinjiang", he secretly calculated the time, so that he could summon him when Mrs. Gao was out of confinement.
Catching up with the spring monsoon smoothly, the day before Huang Zhiting was about to leave the confinement, Gao pragmatic replied. The letter not only devoted half of the space to praising his wife, but also spent a lot of time explaining to her some matters that need attention, but all of them were trivial matters of life, and there was not a single mention of official business—oh, and there was also a sentence: "The rest of the matter is still bothered."
In the last paragraph, he said, "Thinking of the acquaintance with the lady in the past, walking thousands of miles to the abyss, the fairy sound is stunning, and the day of yesterday cannot be left...... My son can be named 'Yuan' to send this feeling. ”
The words "fairy sound stunning" appeared, Huang Zhiting bit her lip slightly, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but be full of mist.
Cut Cao Cao to read the Five Classics, don't let Fu Jiu mess with my heart. Chasing the wind and waves, hitting the water and picking up the lamp, full of wine.
Lifeng looks at the real beauty from afar, and it is difficult to engrave the wall and write the wonderful fairy sound. Looking back at the Central Plains for 8,000 miles, the former sages read Di Qing.
Although the original intention of the Tibetan poem that Gao Pragmatic left to his family was to ask the family members to "do not pursue and return to the teacher immediately", but now it seems that the poem "Lifeng looks really beautiful from afar, and it is difficult to carve the wall and write the wonderful fairy sound" is not just a book scene, but really talking about her. [Note: See Chapter 074 of the "According to Guangxi" volume, which is really stunning, Miao Xianyin]
Although Huang Zhiting's eyes were blinded by tears, her heart was sweet.
It's ridiculous that he felt shy at first glance, and he was fooled, but he thought that he was making himself amorous, but now he admitted it in his letter...... I was really tricked by him.
Fortunately, no matter what, it is considered a positive result in cultivation, and there are no regrets in this life.
Gao Yuan, as soon as the name was announced in Dingnan City, it was about to be celebrated again, and at the same time, it was necessary to catch Zhou.
It is a traditional custom to catch Zhou, which has risen as early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is inevitable that a high-ranking family like the Gao family is inevitable.
Gao Yuan's grasping week is also carried out according to the custom, when eating longevity noodles at noon. A large case is set up in front of a large rosewood bed, on which are seals, scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toy small wooden swords, etc., and even a model of a warship.
Takabuchi, who couldn't even crawl still, was placed in the middle of these things, and under the gaze of a large group of people around him, he began to pick out his own toys with innocent eyes.
Perhaps because of the size of the warship model, Xiao Gao Yuan seemed to take a fancy to it at a glance, and stretched out his hand as if to grab it.
Gao Jing, who had specially come to participate in the ceremony, was so nervous that he suddenly held his breath and clenched his fists hard, and the people around him also threw a kind smile at him.
Huang Zhiting seemed to be just smiling, but she was actually very nervous, and she wanted to say something, but she never said it.
Xiao Gao Yuan had already reached out and was about to grab the ship model, but suddenly his upper body was a little unable to support it, and the person leaned forward, and this leaning over, he saw another thing that made him feel happy, and he reached out to grab it.
It was much smaller than the model ship, and he easily grabbed it in his hand and giggled.
"Seal!"
Gao Mengnan suddenly clapped his hands and announced loudly.
Huang Zhiting's whole person was actually a little out of strength, and then she took a deep breath and put her mind at ease.
"Congratulations, Madame, Childe chose the seal!"
"Congratulations, madam, the little master will definitely dominate the world in the future!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, madam, the little one thinks that the little master is a statue of power, and it's right to grab the seal!"
Only Gao Jing was a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "It's really best to catch the seal......
Huang Zhiting had seen his expression just now, of course he knew what he was thinking, but that was also human nature, Huang Zhiting was not angry, but said with some comfort: "I see that Yuan'er also likes the model of the warship, you can also get closer to him in the future......"
Gao Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded, feeling happy in his heart, and didn't think about the deep meaning of Huang Zhiting's words.
However, Gao Mengnan, who had always been smiling next to him, had a flash of light in his eyes, looked at Gao Yuan, and then at Gao Jing, thinking in his heart.
Mu Sali, who was called to participate in the ceremony of Xiao Gao Gongzi's capture of Zhou before he had time to see Huang Zhiting alone, did not dare to get too close because of his identity as a general, but now he couldn't help but glance at Gao Jing more.
However, before he could think deeply, he suddenly heard a voice ringing in his ears: "General Musali, Madame, please come to the middle hall to meet, please." ”
Musali hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that Mrs. Gao had already left surrounded by a group of attendants.
